When my HP Pavilion dies with its Windows 7 Premium and the latest piece of trash IE, I will go to the system below.

I got tired of waiting for my Comcast site to even sign on or down load or just to get on my bank’s site or Amazon or to stay on after I logged on.

So I asked a younger relative what to do.

His advice was to use Google Chrome instead of IE.

Instead of watching the maddening and ever lasting circle showing that I couldn’t log on to Comcast or Yahoo or AOL, Shabam, I was logged on in seconds to any of the above with Chrome.

Then, I tried logging on to my bank site to pay bills and zoom, I was there. It works with no problems.

Next, I went to Amazon and never had a problem even with their terrible Store Card. It works even better with my new Chase Amazon Card.

Every internet site I use or buy items on, Chrome works fast and quicker versus the seldom working IE/Windows 7 system.

Windows 7 is probably not the problem. It appears to be the IE with Windows 7.

My wife and I gave each other new Android phones for Christmas and I got an Android pad from relatives.

We both had gmail accts and that made the transition for the most part easy, quick and reliable. My wife has become a semi expert with her Alcatel Android Phone. She uses it for emails, texting, phones and to search the internet for weather, news and whatever. She has taken some incredible outdoor pictures with her new Android phone.

We had a little problem with transferring photos and downloading them with all 3 new Androids. That seems to be related to the latest KitKat OS.

The systems are fast, reliable and work well with our WiFI and on the 3G system outside our house.

Also, I don’t have to waste a lot of time downloading the latest MS/IE/BS several times a month. Chrome does its updates/downloads without the hassles.

So, when my HP Pavilion dies or shows signs of decaying, I will go to the following and gain more desk space while saving on electricity.

I have no direct investment with Google. We do own the ETF, TDIV, which invests in dividend paying tech stocks. MS is one of the stocks owned by TDIV as well as Google.
